Did you know that Brian May is not just Queen’s guitarist, but he's also a rockstar in astronomy?
Move over "Bohemian Rhapsody," because it’s time for "Bennu Rhapsody!"
Armed with his Ph.D. in astronomy and a passion for stereoscopic imaging, he created 3D images of asteroid Bennu, which contributed to the OSIRIS-REx mission!
Next time you listen to "We Will Rock You," remember that Brian May isn't just rocking the stage, he's also rocking the depths of space, one asteroid at a time!

Those 3D things are really interesting.
I've got Dr Brian's book of 3D Moon images. They really come to life!
